Meet The Lewis House. She celebrates her 100th birthday this year but looks only six years old. This Spanish Revival home in the Duckpond Historic District retains its original character and was fully restored and updated in 2019/2020. New: electrical service and complete wiring update, plumbing replaced to the street, roof, HVAC, garage (block with textured stucco finish). Hidden in the back is a Spanish style courtyard with sanded stucco block walls and mosaic art combined with old brick and new pavers. Inside you will find refinished original oak and heart pine floors, generous living areas, lots of windows and French doors, and fully updated kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, granite countertops, wall oven and cooktop, tile backsplash and apron front sink. Bathrooms are new: walk in glass-tiled shower in master, custom cabinetry, and deep soaking tub in guest bath. The main living areas are generous and there is a small window-filled office off the kitchen and a fully enclosed front porch. A small third bedroom was repurposed as a large walk-in closet with laundry. The landscape is irrigated, whimsical, and low maintenance. Every aspect of this property was thoughtfully designed to provide modern finishes and convenience while maintaining its historic character, earning it an ad valorem tax exemption through 2030. Walkable to downtown (less than a mile) Depot Park (1.5 miles), and UF (<2 miles). This is a rare Duckpond find.
